Shipwreck

A ship carrying cargo was damaged last week with the terrible weather that was across the UK. The ship was later intentinally grounded on a sandbar as it was leaking fuel and oil. Since then hundreds of people have foraged among containers washed from the vessel on the southern English coast on Monday.

Television footage has shown people inside shipping containers or carrying away items such as gearboxes, steering wheels and Bibles. The report said at least 15 new BMW motorcycles were taken away{ each worth 15 Grand), one of them by people using a small tractor as they raced against the tides to grab what they could. A couple of Land Rovers have been taken too!! The report said that taking the goods is not illegal, the people are to report what they have taken to a local authority
{yeah right, these people are not going to report what they stole}
